Zero-Shot Learning
When an AI performs a task it wasn’t directly trained on by using general knowledge.
Help me explain to...
K–5th
Zero-shot learning is when a computer figures something out even if no one showed it how, like solving a puzzle using what it already knows.
6–8th
Even if AI never saw an example, it can still guess what to do using things it learned before. That’s zero-shot learning.
9–12th
Zero-shot learning enables AI models to generalize to tasks they weren’t explicitly trained on by leveraging pre-trained knowledge.
Expeditions
K–5th
Give students a challenge they’ve never done, but that uses familiar tools (like blocks). See how they approach it.
6–8th
Present students with a word in a different language. Can they guess its meaning using clues?
9–12th
Use an AI tool to complete a task it wasn’t trained for (e.g., poetry from a legal doc). Discuss how it succeeded or struggled.
